Just before the World Cup, New Balance and Stone Island are releasing their new capsule — a limited collection fronted by two players expected to feature at the tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
Stone Island and New Balance are working together once again, launching a new collection shortly before the start of the World Cup. The focus is on pieces for the pitch, as well as clothing and accessories that can also be worn in everyday life. The collection is presented by Bukayo Saka and Endrick.
The collaboration combines New Balance’s technical approach with Stone Island’s expertise in materials. Many of the pieces reference the football culture of the 1990s, but feel more modern and reduced. The collection includes a football shirt, shorts, a ball, a training bag, accessories and selected garments. One standout piece is a lightweight nylon hooded jacket. The material has a slightly shimmering surface and creates a technical look that is typical of Stone Island. The matching training bag uses the same material.
The shirt and shorts are made from a technically developed fabric. The design combines the well-known Stone Island Compass with the New Balance logo and a stripe motif. A dedicated football is also part of the collection. It was developed to fly as steadily as possible and absorb as little water as possible. Bukayo Saka and Endrick were photographed for the campaign. Saka is part of the England national team squad, while Endrick is part of the Brazil national team squad. Both represent a young generation of footballers for whom performance, style and presence are closely connected.
With this collection, Stone Island and New Balance show how strongly football now reaches into fashion and everyday culture. At its core, the project is about the connection between football aesthetics, function and streetwear. The Stone Island × New Balance Summer ’026 Capsule will be released on June 4, 2026 in selected Stone Island stores and online via Stone Island. Further on-pitch pieces are also set to be unveiled on June 4.
